The role of semantic association and emotional contagion for the induction of emotion with music
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2008
Abstract
We suggest that semantic association may be a further mechanism by which music may elicit emotion. Furthermore, we note that emotional contagion is not always an immediate process requiring little prior information processing; rather, emotional contagion contributing to music processing may constitute a more complex decoding mechanism for information inherent in the music, which may be subject to a time course of activation.
